Subject: To: D. Pizer -- Please Keep Cryonics Out of Your Lawsuit
If you are determined to fund a lawsuit to keep religions from saying
certain things, please do it solely on the merits of issues like the
illegality of making unsubstantiated claims, and make no mention of
cryonics in it anywhere.
Cryonics won't help your legal arguments anyway, as nobody knows yet if
people will ever be revived from it and therefore there are presently no
aggrieved persons. Mentioning cryonics may even distract from your
position being heard, from the noise created by public scorn and ridicule.
But as others have pointed out, the main reason I ask is that if cryonics
becomes linked to a lawsuit against the churches, we could see legislative
and regulatory problems that make the Ted Williams-related stuff look like
a jaywalking ticket. Even after millions of dollars of fighting such
things, cryonicists could still see their organizations vanish through
legislation.
Thank you for looking at the real world, on this.
BTW, what I am speaking of may be starting already. You might have a look at:
